dBpoweramp CD Ripper Still Not "Spliitting" Custom Tags (VorbisComments)

[d2b]

I've posted this topic before but nothing seems to have been done to rectify the problem. Perhaps a fresh posting will revive interest in correcting this issue.

dBpoweramp "normally" splits multiple-valued tag entries into separate fields--the preferred method of handling VorbisComments when ripping to the FLAC file format. The separator between such entries is a semicolon ( followed by a space. For example, this entry in the Composer window at the top of the screen results in these tags:

John Lennon; Paul McCartney ===>

COMPOSER=John Lennon
COMPOSER=Paul McCartney

This doesn't work for most or all custom tags; the semicolon/space is ignored and any multiple-valued entries are written out as a single tag. For example, this is what happens if I create a multiple-valued Performer tag:

John Lennon; Paul McCartney ===>

PERFORMER=John Lennon; Paul McCartney

Because of this, we must use a different separator character for those entries and then use mp3tag to post-process the resulting files in order to separate mulitple-valued tags ihto separate VorbisComments.

Please fix this so that all manually-entered multiple-valued tags are written correctly when ripping to the FLAC file format.

Thanks...

I have just tested this, took a flac file without performer, right click >> edit id tags

Added PERFORMER and John Lennon; Paul McCartney

was written as:

PERFORMER=John Lennon
PERFORMER=Paul McCartney

(I am running R14.4 beta).

That's encouraging. Does it work that way when ripping a Cd from scratch? I tested the Edit ID Tag interface to do as you did but using 14.3 and it did not split the tags.

Since performers may very well differ from track to track, this kind of metadata is most efficiently entered when ripping the CD, not afterward.

Try R14.4 beta with the edit tag please.

If Edit tags works, then CD Ripper should also.

Yes, this problem seems to be solved in 14.4 Beta using CD Ripper to enter multiple-valued fields for custom FLAC tags such as Performer and Label.

Now if we can just fix the issue with the cache not storing these values, I'll be really happy!

Thanks again...
